Information systems and technology have many important roles for higher education, such as improving quality to support operations, management and decision-making functions. Most of the information systems currently available are not widely available and are not yet integrated with each other. One of them is within the Faculty of Science and Technology (SAINTEK). An information technology integration service is needed to meet user needs in accessing, using, and utilizing information systems. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a framework for enterprise architecture that provides a comprehensive approach to planning, designing, and implementing enterprise information architecture, adopting 5 phases of the 10 existing phases, namely, Preliminary Phase, Architecture Vision, Business Architecture, Information System Architecture, and Technology Architecture the results of this research are architectures from these 5 phases so that they can provide an overview and ease of information technology integration. 

This research analyzes teachers' perceptions and practices regarding technology integration in English language teaching within the Indonesian educational context. Using a mixed methods approach, this study involved 120 English teachers from various educational levels (primary, junior high, senior high, and higher education) through an online survey, with 15 teachers selected for in-depth interviews and classroom observations. The findings reveal a gap between teachers' positive perceptions of technology (M=4.21 on a 5-point scale) and actual implementation in teaching practices (M=3.15). Statistical analysis identified four main factors influencing technology integration: teachers' digital competence (β=0.43, p<0.01), institutional support (β=0.38, p<0.01), teachers' pedagogical beliefs (β=0.35, p<0.01), and infrastructure accessibility (β=0.32, p<0.01). Qualitative data revealed that while teachers acknowledge the potential of technology to increase student motivation and create authentic language learning environments, they face challenges in aligning technology use with learning objectives, classroom management, and learning assessment. This research provides recommendations for teacher professional development and educational policies that support effective technology integration in English language teaching.

This study explores the influence of teachers' pedagogical beliefs on the integration of technology in language education. Teachers' beliefs significantly impact their technology adoption and how it is utilized in the classroom, shaping the learning experiences of students. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with classroom observations to examine the relationship between teachers’ beliefs and their use of technology in language education settings. The findings reveal that teachers with constructivist beliefs, which emphasize active, student-centered learning, are more likely to integrate technology in ways that support engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking. In contrast, teachers with traditional, teacher-centered beliefs are more likely to use technology primarily for content delivery and repetition, limiting its potential to foster interactive and student-driven learning environments. The study also highlights the gap between teachers' positive beliefs about technology and their actual practices, which are often hindered by external barriers such as lack of training, resources, and institutional support. The research suggests that professional development programs should address both pedagogical beliefs and technological competencies to facilitate successful technology integration. Furthermore, the study calls for future research to explore how specific pedagogical models, like constructivism, can be further aligned with technology integration to improve learning outcomes. The research also emphasizes the need for longitudinal studies to understand the evolution of teachers' beliefs and their impact on technology use in language education.
